Special moment: The happy couple inspect the orchid that will bear their name

Enter the dragon: The couple arrived to a whirr of noise and colour as they were greeted by a traditional lion dance - a sign of welcome and good luck - to represent Singapore's Chinese community

Making a Royal entrance: Kate chose a pretty patterned silk skirt and top by Asian designer Raoul, which cost £485 for the Royal couple's visit to a local housing estate

Snap happy: The Duchess can just be seen over a sea of cameras and camera phones during the couple's stop-off in Singapore

Lovely to meet you: The Duchess looked enthralled by the sea of hands extended towards her as she met the crowds during a visit to Queenstown, Singapore

Look, they match your dress! Kate accepts a bouquet of flowers from a little girl during a tour in Strathmore Green at Queenstown public housing estate in Singapore

Set back: Earlier in the day crowds, eager to see the Prince, rushed forward causing a barrier to collapse as the Duke and Duchess returned to their car at the end of a visit to the Rainbow Centre. Luckily nobody was hurt

Move over Michelle Obama! The Duchess flexes her biceps after pushing in the last blade of a Rolls-Royce wide chord fan blade during her tour of the Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus in Singapore

Unusual: Kate, right, carries a stunning red bouquet as she makes her way past the tree structures in the Gardens By The Bay in Singapore during the Royal couple's Jubilee tour 

Monarchy mad: A fan holds a photo of Britain's Diana, Princess of Wales, as thousands wait for the arrival of William and Kate

Frenzy: More than 3,000 cheering, flag waving members of the public had gathered at the gardens to see the royal couple, many of whom had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of the pair, who they said 'made them feel proud to be British'

Home from home: William and Kate met pupils from the Tanglin Trust British School who had made dozens of glittery banners and were chanting 'Wills is brill, Kate is great' at the top of their voices

The wreath included a message from William's grandmother, which read: 'In Memory Of The Glorious Dead Elizabeth R and Philip'

Valour: William was particularly interested in the graves of the men from Z Special Unit, who were captured in an heroic attempt to plant mines on the Japanese fleet in Singapore harbour by creeping up on the ships by canoe. The men were executed by their captors just weeks before the end of fighting on July 7 1945

Morning light: The couple walk the rows of graves illuminated by the weak morning sun

Dream like: The Kranji Memorial is situated on a tranquil sun-bathed hill high above the bustling city of Singapore

What would you serve Prince William and his wife, Kate during their visit to Singapore?

Prince Harry might have grabbed insalubrious headline news when he flashed his crown jewels in Las Vegas last month, but come September 11 the spotlight shifts to big brother Prince William and his wife, Kate.

The royal couple, officially referred to as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is due to arrive in Singapore for two days as part of a nine-day overseas trip to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.

According to various media reports, they'll visit Singapore's Botanic Gardens and Gardens by the Bay, as well as Singapore's Rainbow Centre, which is a special needs community.

But what will they be eating? Tongues are already wagging among foodies and top chefs about what they would serve the man who's second in line to the British throne, if given the opportunity.

Frédéric Colin, chef/owner of Brasserie Gavroche

No prizes for guessing chef Frédéric Colin's cuisine of choice.“For the royal couple, only royale dishes will do,” says Frédéric Colin, a French expatriate and the former executive chef of St. Regis Singapore who hung up his corporate apron to open Brasserie Gavroche on Tras Street in late 2011.

“I will first serve them a royale de homard [a lobster flan dish] prepared with French blue lobster from Brittany,” says Colin with a sparkle in his eyes.

“This will be followed by lièvre à la royale, a wild hare dish paired with truffle, foie gras and a rich wine sauce, a creation of the 19th-century 'King of Chefs' Marie-Antoine Carême.”

Trust Colin to know his haute French gastronomy. The Frenchman spent years helming the kitchen of luxury hotel chains and during his stint at St. Regis Singapore he once prepared afternoon tea for William's uncle, Prince Andrew.

Lee Bennett, Chef de Cuisine, Equinox Restaurant

Prince William could find worse surroundings in which to sit back and enjoy a cottage pie with his wife.“I would like to invite the royal couple to the Private Saloon at the Equinox Complex,” says Lee Bennett, chef de cuisine at the Swissôtel The Stamford's Equinox Restaurant  and the all-time youngest winner of the prestigious Craft Guild of Chefs’ "Restaurant Chef of the Year" award.

“The former personal chef to the royal family once shared that cottage pie is Prince William’s favorite dish,” says Bennett, who once competed –- albeit unsuccessfully -- in “The Great British Menu” reality TV show for an opportunity to serve a meal to Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

“It would be my privilege to present a Tadcaster ale-scented mini cottage pie with roasted Angus fillet of beef for the prince,” says Bennett.

“The Duchess of Cambridge enjoys a healthy lifestyle,” Bennete continues. “For her, I would prepare a low-fat and wholesome grilled Dover sole and Morcambe Bay shrimps with cucumber and radish salad and steamed Jersey Royal potatoes.”

Benjamin Seck, chef/owner of True Blue Cuisine

Ayam buah keluak, braised chicken with Indonesian black nut, is a Peranakan staple.But Benjamin Seck, chef/owner of True Blue Cuisine, begs to differ and feels local dishes would be more to Will's and Kate's liking.

“It would be an honor to serve Peranakan cuisine to the royal couple at our Intan private room,” says the bespectacled Seck, who also owns a souvenir shop and the Peranakan-inspired pantry at the Peranakan Museum.

“Peranakan food was one of the first fusion cuisines to be created through the intermarriage of Chinese traders to the local women in the Straits Settlement.

“I would serve up a Peranakan feast that begins with banana blossom salad with cucumber, starfruit, belimbing [wild star fruit], onions, chilies and coconut cream.

“This will be followed by ayam buah keluak [braised chicken with Indonesian black nut], chap chye [stew cabbage with dried lilybyds, dried mushrooms and black fungus with soy bean paste] and dessert of onde onde [palm sugar stuffed rice flour balls]."

Jeremy Nguee, chef/owner of Preparazzi

If chef Jeremy Nguee were calling the royal shots, Prince William would dine on a bowl of "laksa cream la mien."“I also think some Singaporean dishes will be great,” says Nguee, autodidact cook/owner of Preparazzi who won a 12-month rental-free use of a shophouse space on Boon Tat Street as winner of Martell V.S.O.P’s 2011 Ultimate Start-up Space.

“I’d love to serve up some roast pork and crackling to the royal couple,” says Nguee.

“The addition of cinnamon and star anise in the roast pork will be a great Asian spin on an English flavor.”

“I would also like to serve up a bowl of la mien (Chinese noodles) with laksa cream and this will be accompanied by a jug of white wine sangria with tropical fruits like rambutan, lychees or pomegranate.

“For desserts, it’s chendol (a dessert made of coconut milk, rice flour and palm sugar) panna cotta with gula Melaka syrup and perhaps some durian puree.”

Dr. Leslie Tay, food blogger

Bak kut teh is one of Singapore's most adored comfort foods.“I think the prince would be so used to high class food that he would enjoy some authentic hawker food,” says  Dr. Leslie Tay, the man behind well-known food blogieatishootipost.sg.

“For a change, I would bring the royal couple for bak kut teh [pork rib soup] as this captures what is uniquely Singapore.”

“I would set up a pavilion along Clarke Quay overlooking the river where the coolies used to transport goods into the godowns,” he says. “Bak kut teh was the dish that the coolies used to eat before starting the day’s work, there is no other hawker dish as closely associated to the founding of Singapore as a key trading port for the British Empire.

“We will have bak kut teh with red cut chili steeped in dark soya sauce,” says Tay. “This meal is best accompanied by a pot of Pek Sin Choon Chinese tea; just like wine with French cuisine, good Chinese tea pairing can elevate the flavor of the pork bone soup to the next level.”
